Job Title: Infrastructure as Code Engineer - Nutanix, Terraform & Ansible
Job Location: 100% Remote
Duration: 24 months
Interview Mode: 1st round remote via Teams, 2nd round onsite in New York, NY
CANDIDATES MUST BE ABLE TO GO TO 2ND ROUND INTERVIEW ONSITE IN NEW YORK, NY AND ONBOARD FOR 2-3 DAYS ONSITE IN NYC
Position Overview
Our Fortune 500 client located in New York, NY is seeking an experienced Senior Infrastructure as Code Engineer - Nutanix, Terraform & Ansible to design, develop, and maintain automation solutions supporting critical Operational Technology (OT) infrastructure and enterprise applications.
This is a hands-on infrastructure automation and Site Reliability Engineering role focused on transforming traditional infrastructure operations into a repeatable, secure, version-controlled, and highly automated delivery model. The engineer will develop Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Configuration as Code (CaC) solutions using Terraform, Ansible, HashiCorp Packer, Vault, Git, and Azure DevOps across Nutanix AHV, VMware, Linux, and Windows environments.
The ideal candidate brings strong infrastructure engineering fundamentals combined with deep automation expertise. This individual will build reusable infrastructure modules, standardized server images, CI/CD pipelines, automated recovery processes, and observability solutions that improve platform reliability, security, recoverability, and operational efficiency.
Key Responsibilities
Infrastructure as Code & Automation
The ideal candidate is a hands-on infrastructure automation engineer who thinks like an SRE. You should be equally comfortable writing Terraform modules and Ansible automation, building Packer images, developing Azure DevOps pipelines, scripting with Python or Linux shell, and troubleshooting Nutanix, VMware, and Linux infrastructure.
This position goes beyond traditional infrastructure administration. We are looking for someone who can turn manual operational procedures into reusable, version-controlled automation, establish repeatable infrastructure baselines, improve observability, and build automated recovery capabilities.
Success in this role means creating infrastructure that is not only easier to deploy, but also more reliable, secure, consistent, auditable, and recoverable.
